schnurrito, to world in Australian judge rules that social media platform X must answer to hate speech complaint

This is a problem that’s been around about as long as the WWW itself and has not really been solved yet at all.

schnurrito, to programmerhumor in when google bought datasets from reddit

Is this real?

schnurrito, to news in A 3-year-old girl died during an ‘exorcism.’ A judge has now ruled her family can stand trial

Why not? Illnesses can be cured.

schnurrito, to nostupidquestions in What happens to my domain, website and email when I die?

Most domain and web hosting plans expire when no one pays to renew them.

One thing you could do is put your work under a free license. That would allow people to copy it which should make sure that your work will be preserved by others.

schnurrito, to technology in Conservative cell carrier Patriot Mobile hit by data breach

Why is a “conservative cell carrier” even a thing…that has to exist… or exists… nah you know I don’t actually wanna know…

schnurrito, to asklemmy in What is the Legal copyright on a Lemmy Post?

In the vast majority of countries, everything written down is automatically copyrighted by default and if you want to release it into the public domain or under a free license you have to make it explicit.

schnurrito, to theonion in Iranian President Stoned To Death With Mountain

To my understanding this means historically a western communist who supported the USSR’s interventions (with tanks, hence the name) in Eastern European countries (Hungary, Czechoslovakia, maybe also East Germany) when the Warsaw Pact was a thing. More broadly someone who thinks the Soviet Union was a good regime.

schnurrito, to technology in People want 'dumbphones'. Will companies make them?

Yup.

In the 2000s (very young at the time) I sometimes thought about how awesome it would be if we had devices where we could go on the Internet from everywhere.

I do not want the world back where people could only look things up on the Internet from home or work or where there is a desktop computer.

schnurrito, to news in 706 people named Kyle got together in Texas. It wasn’t enough for a world record

Ivan is just the Slavic form of John, a very common name in English speaking countries too.

I think those are only different spellings because of transliteration and are spelled the same in Arabic script.

schnurrito, to technology in Big Tech to EU: "Drop Dead"

Yes. But we have all gotten pretty used to things on the Internet not costing money. If they start costing money, many people will either not want to or be able to use them.

Midnight what timezone? 😁

schnurrito, to technology in Online Content Is Disappearing

Freely licensed works will be preserved a lot better because there will be more copies of them.

Likewise the fediverse is a step in that direction: this message will be federated to hundreds of servers so is more likely to survive longer than if I posted it to reddit.

schnurrito, to technology in Uber's new shuttle service sounds a lot like a bus route

When public transportation was first introduced in most places, it was run by private companies for profit. This changed mostly because it wasn’t profitable to compete with cars when those became popular.

Of course there still are private companies running public transport: long distance buses and trains in many places, and commercial aviation is really also a form of public transportation.

So there is nothing novel about buses being run by private companies for profit.
